We're long overdue for tools like this. Especially with the (commendable) rise in code review. The downside of code review with large codebases is that I'd get pulled into parts of the codebase which my team ostensibly owned, but where no one on the current team had significant context. Usually these code reviews were part of bigger rewrites/refactors where the author/their tech lead knew more, but not necessarily all.
This turned into theater. We had no choice but to rubberstamp. The “review” was more of a heads up than a real review request because no one can get up to speed without becoming a blocker. Something to improve monitoring reflexes or reaction time in an incident. Frankly these days an LLM would easily clear the bar for the “review” part of those reviews. But even the LLM's context could be significantly enhanced with a tool like Tanagram that has actual architectural context. Looking forward to updates!
Certainly useful for authoring, since that's what I do most now as a founder. Most of my code is pretty fresh. While I can give you some feedback, I probably wouldn't pay more than a couple bucks a month. Meanwhile the larger, older codebases at more mature companies have much greater need and budgets.
